I go through at a casual pace, doing exercises when they interest me and when I get a
couple chapters in I "pause" my learning and then begin drills making sure I understand new grammar points I learnt as well as attempting to use new vocab. Once I've done this till I feel content, I push forward again. Since I supplement my main learning resource with others - I sometimes get a bit too ahead of myself so I also tone this down a bit during my pause phase. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I wanted to choose the second one "Zip through the first time. Then slow down and repeat," but recently I realized "What's the purpose of mastering (this lesson, this word list, this article, etc.)??" If I come back to it later (e.g. after about a month), I can enjoy the lesson again with a refreshed feeling, and my understanding of it 1 month later is definitely better.
If I "drill" textbook lessons by repeating them day after day, then maybe I can eventually make it quickly up to "mastery" of that lesson, but each repeat is successfully less enjoyable than the last. Edited by chaotic_thought on 27 March 2015 at 12:02pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I don't drill textbook lessons and I drop textbooks FAST when I don't need them to patch
up certain gaping holes in my knowledge. Native materials always beat textbooks. Real life always beats textbooks. Edited by tarvos on 30 March 2015 at 5:53am 4 persons have voted this message useful |
